He is a computer engineer with an MBA in Finance, has studied design thinking, and is a keen student of human behaviour. In his corporate career, he has worked in the BPO sector, in venture capital, metrology and industrial robotics. Since 2012, he has been consulting young driven companies across sectors and across the world; in areas of product innovation, design, and management and growth strategy.
He believes lives, business, and the world can be transformed using design thinking and an understanding of behaviour.
By way of his first book, Design the Future, he simplified the Stanford design thinking model, which is the world's most popular but not sufficiently well understood one. His objective was to make Design Thinking simple enough for interested individuals and companies to understand and practice, to design a better world for themselves and others.
His second book, Main Batata Hoon, is a collection of short fictional stories in conversational format, that bring out the interesting and amusing complexities in mindsets and behaviour that shape our world.

How do you close a plastic bottle? Just turn the lid until you feel a slight resistance, right? But what if you are really angry when doing it? Or you are someone who is horrified of germs? You might twist the lid too much, expanding or cracking it, which defeats the purpose of the lid. Simply because of your mood or mindset.
Now if you extend that example to our interactions with the world, you might start noticing how our views and beliefs, and our mo
How do you close a plastic bottle? Just turn the lid until you feel a slight resistance, right? But what if you are really angry when doing it? Or you are someone who is horrified of germs? You might twist the lid too much, expanding or cracking it, which defeats the purpose of the lid. Simply because of your mood or mindset.
Now if you extend that example to our interactions with the world, you might start noticing how our views and beliefs, and our moods and behaviours, unravel a cascade of counterintuitive consequences, shaping the world in profound and perplexing ways, with impacts far beyond the immediate moment.
"Main Batata Hoon" explores such intricate webs of human views, mindsets and behaviours through a fictional collection of everyday stories in conversational form. From the mundane to the extraordinary, these conversations unravel odd outlooks and curious ways in which we individuals navigate the intricate dance of social dynamics and life. The title is a Hindi line I sometimes use to get a laugh out of people. Because depending on how you say it, it could either mean, ‘I will tell you’, or that, ‘I am a potato’ - highlighting the greys that shape our world.
Through a behavioral lens, ‘Main Batata Hoon’ delves into the amusing, thought-provoking, and sometimes bizarre facets of our human nature. Brace yourself for a journey into the unexpected, where our counterintuitiveness reveals the intricate tapestry of the human experience.

Any significant event that has occurred in the history of man has always been about people. From global conquests to curing epidemics, inventing cars, space travel and even simplifying our daily lives with technology. Design thinking, the overhyped and less understood mindset has intentionally or unknowingly been at the heart of innovations—from the simplest of them by individuals to make household chores easier, that no one might ever hear about; to those by groups of brilliant scientists, lone innovators and hordes of selfless social volunteers working on improving lives the world over.
Design thinking is essential yet elusive as something like kindness or charity or even ethics and morality. This book aims at demystifying the seemingly complex but very fundamental yet essential mindset of design thinking to help you apply it to designing your business, your life, and possibly a better world.
